The ability of 99Tcm-labelled polyclonal human immunoglobulin G (99Tcm-IgG) scintigraphy to monitor intra-individual variation in arthritis activity was studied in seven patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). These patients were treated with an intra-articular injection of 20 mg triamcinolone hexacetonide. The results of semiquantitative 99Tcm-IgG scintigraphy were compared with the degree of joint swelling and the histological changes observed in synovial biopsies before and 14 days after the injection. In all seven patients the local treatment resulted in a decreased arthritis activity of the treated knee as measured clinically or histologically. This decrease was parallelled, in all patients except one, by a lower uptake of 99Tcm-IgG after the injection when compared to uptake prior to treatment. This study shows that 99Tcm-IgG scintigraphy is able to reflect intra-individual variations in arthritis activity in patients with RA.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D000287 Administration, Topical The application of drug preparations to the surfaces of the body, especially the skin (ADMINISTRATION, CUTANEOUS) or mucous membranes. This method of treatment is used to avoid systemic side effects when high doses are required at a localized area or as an alternative systemic administration route, to avoid hepatic processing for example.
